Hi Folks:
May I join the fray? ; -)
I have a Lc bowri-albida 'Kennedys' at home - that's the way it came labeled. It's a very tolerant, reliable plant. (Catt bowringiana X Laelia albida - I have a species L. albida too)
I find at SVO this sentence which I quote here: "The ‘Kennedys’ cultivar variety of Finckeniana has a bit of controversy surrounding its parentage. It may, in fact, be Lc. Bowri-albida (albida x bowringiana)." (Well, huh?)
So, I'm a bit confused. Are any of you? Does anyone really know the true story?
Is Laelia anceps in the picture? or is an L. anceps X L. albida = "Finkeniana" or another named cross? oh, the plot thickens! Not that it makes a difference to me. I'm not throwing out a reliable plant just because she's an 'un-pedigreed mutt' - ha ha!
Thanks for your comments : -) and Happy growing,
Maryanne
